QuestionQUESTION: I have a r22 system and I need to change the evap. coil. the Q. is which refrigerant is most compatible with an r22 system? and can R507a be used at all. This is for Residential HVAC application.

Thanks

ANSWER: R-507a is not a replacement for R-22 from what I can see. There are many drop-in's for R-22. Depending on the application, difference ones used. Since you did not state what the application is for, I do not know which direction to tell you to head in. I get questions from those all over the world, and where you live could be a difference.
